Informative, lively, and impeccably researched, Shroom is a unique and engaging study of this most extraordinary of psychedelic drugs.

The 'magic mushroom' was only rediscovered seventy years ago, but has accumulated all sorts of folktales and urban legends along the way. In this timely and definitive study, Andy Letcher strips away the myths to get at the true story of how hallucinogenic mushrooms, once shunned in the West as the most pernicious of poisons, came to be the illicit drug of choice.
